Olympiad Test: Algebraic Expressions And Their Identities - 1 - Question 1

What are the factors of the expression ab – a - b + 1?

Detailed Solution: Question 1

- To factor the expression ab - a - b + 1, start by grouping terms.
- Rewrite it as ab - a - b + 1 = a(b - 1) - 1(b - 1).
- Notice that both terms contain (b - 1).
- Factor out (b - 1): (b - 1)(a - 1).
- This shows that the expression can be represented as the product of (a - 1) and (b - 1).
- Therefore, the correct answer is (a - 1)(b - 1).

Olympiad Test: Algebraic Expressions And Their Identities - 1 - Question 2

If (2x - 3) is a factor of 6x2 – 7x – 3, then what is the other factor?

Detailed Solution: Question 2

6x2 – 7x – 3

Olympiad Test: Algebraic Expressions And Their Identities - 1 - Question 3

What are the factors of (g + h)2 - 4gh ?

Detailed Solution: Question 3

To Simplify the expression: (g+h)− 4gh

Step1: Expand
(g+h)2 = g+ 2gh + h2

Step2: Substitute and simplify
g+ 2gh + h− 4gh = g− 2gh + h2

Step3: Factor
g− 2gh + h= (g−h)(g−h)

So, Correct Option:B

Olympiad Test: Algebraic Expressions And Their Identities - 1 - Question 17

What is the numerical coefficient in the product of 2abc, - 16a2bc and 3ab2c2?

Detailed Solution: Question 17

The product of the expressions can be calculated as follows:

  • Start with the three expressions: 2abc, -16a2bc, and 3ab2c2.
  • Multiply the coefficients: 2 × -16 × 3.
  • Calculating step-by-step:
    • First, 2 × -16 = -32.
    • Next, -32 × 3 = -96.
  • Now, combine the variables:
    • abc × a2bc × ab2c2 = a4b4c3.

Thus, the final result is:

-96a4b4c3.
